Name: Tevinter Imperium.
Race: Human.
Age: 26.
Stage: Blackheart.
Gender: Female.
Personality:
On meeting Tevinter the first thing you notice is how upbeat she is. The lower half of her face always shows a cocky smile and her body movements are always flirtatious and playful. Despite the dark nature of her occupation she has not forgotten how to laugh and have a good time, she often invites her comrades back to her chamber for a drink and to take pleasure in simple things like card-games and poetry. She also has a soft spot for stuffed animals and smut romance novels which most people find surprising.. Tevinter frequents night-clubs and is a common face around Moonfall, though admittedly she does like to keep a low profile... as low as she can get anyway, its not like she does not stick out like a sore thumb.
At times she can even be rather childish, she likes to give people nicknames and tease them about silly things. More so she always likes having her nose in other peoples business; trying her damned hardest to sniff out secrets. To her there is nothing you are better off not knowing, which means she wants to know everything. She even sneaks into other peoples rooms from time to time to try and come up with some dirt.
She is annoying, in a bratty high-school student kind of way.
Though when it comes to her work there is nobody more dedicated. If you are labelled a target she will do all she can to take you out with the precision and lack of mercy that one would expect of an assassin. She does not go in to battle and fight fairly, she is more of a slit your throat in your sleep kind of gal. If there is a wise-a** comment to be made, then she will be the one making it - but only after the mission is accomplished. Granted she has somewhat of a dark sense of humour at times; if you can not laugh at this job then it would drive you insane.
Tevinter was raised learning the importance of respect and responsibility. She is very well-mannered and (for the most part) composed; and as such she expects the same civil behaviour from others. Rules and order need to be upheld in her eyes because that is the standard in which society has deemed as acceptable. Tevinter stays within the boundaries of the law, but more so the code of the Blackhearts. I mean there are things she is allowed to do what a normal member of society can not, licence to kill and all that. All is fair in love and war and she does not go after people with hate or vengeance in her heart; it is all business and she is simply doing her duty to punish the wicked and restore balance to the world. Emotions do not come into the equation. You can either stand by her side or get crushed under her heel but you are not getting in her way.
Get the job done, no matter the cost. This is her motto. Sometimes sacrifices need to be made for the greater good, if you can not accept this, then the Blackhearts is not the career for you. She is all up to leaving someone behind if you are not pulling your weight, despite how much she likes you - afterall, everyone knows the dangers when entering the job.
If she sees a talent she pays it a compliment and if she sees a flaw she will leave critique in a somewhat humerus fashion, this blunt way of talking does not do many favours and can often lead to confrontation. She has a no-nonsense outlook on the job and will scold anyone who is not living up to her expectations. She does not do anything half-hearted and if others efforts fall under a standard that she sees as acceptable she will be first to register a well needed kick up the bum. Anything less that full on concentration and dedication merits punishment, this is the way she has progressed through the ranks and expects it from her teammates.
I guess you could say the Blackhearts and Reapers see the human side of her and the rest of the world is stuck with the cold-blooded killer. The more isolated she is from the world outside Poena Privus, the more efficient she is. She makes her duty and team all she cares about, because then she knows then she will be able to risk everything for them.
History:
Not much is known about Tevinter, and even less about where she came from. All that is for certain is that she has been a Blackheart for the last six years and is completely loyal to the cause. Everything else is in her past, and she intends to leave it as such. She thinks it adds to her mysterious aura. Though in reality there is no reason why she would not want to talk about it, she grew up in a loving home and no tragedies or suffering was every endured by her. She just likes messing with people. More so she does not want people to know where she came from, fearing it could put her family in danger. They do not even know what she does.... according to them she is school teacher who moved across the seas to get married. So as you might guess, Tevinter is not her real name, and no you can not know her real name.
Magic Theme: Ice and shadow themed magic. Think Yuki-onna.
Reference:
Hair :: Long black hair, two braids wrap around her head to give the effect of horns, blue braids of a blue colour are also found in her elaborate hairstyle. Along the lines of this. <- yet the horns would be larger.
Eyes :: Bright blue.
Skin :: Pale, almost vampire-like.
Clothes :: Clothing-wise I want most of her body covered in black material. It should be tight to her skin and easy to move around in. Think along the lines of [this] ( with the hood down ) For armor elements look at [this] for inspiration, her armor should be black, like onyx. It might be nice to see some kind of lace on her, but that is up to you.
Extra's:: Her weapon(s) are two daggers with black hilts and glowing blue blades. She also wears a lot of make-up, dark around the eyes with blue lips.The blue on her should be around this colour.

Not so much a critque as simply things I'm curious about: Can I ask why you named her after the Tevinter Imperium? I assume it has to do with her being a dracolich, (as the Dragon Age world that country practices dragon worship/forbidden magic/necromancy)? This is more a crit but not? IDK Kind of curious.... how she would be an assassin looking as she does? I mean... she has a dragon skull. On her head. And a bone claw. And a bone tail. ect ect ect.Those are some pretty distinguishing characteristics that I would assume are not common, even in this setting? Also IDK how what would technically be a dead animal..being a mononoke? Given a dragonlich is is an undead dragon there is a weird clash of 'So is she living or is she actually undead'?

Sorry it did not tell me you posted here, stupid notifications, anyway yea!Can I ask why you named her after the Tevinter Imperium? I assume it has to do with her being a dracolich, (as the Dragon Age world that country practices dragon worship/forbidden magic/necromancy)? YOU GOT THIS IN ONE. CONGRATS, I NOW LOVE YOU. 4EVA.
This is actually a OC of mine, you got it pretty spot on, could not have said it better myself. This is more a crit but not? IDK Kind of curious.... how she would be an assassin looking as she does? I mean... she has a dragon skull. On her head. And a bone claw. And a bone tail. ect ect ect.Those are some pretty distinguishing characteristics that I would assume are not common, even in this setting? Also IDK how what would technically be a dead animal..being a mononoke? Given a dragonlich is is an undead dragon there is a weird clash of 'So is she living or is she actually undead'? Well the idea behind it was that her magic would revolve around shadows / necromancy. So she would be able to shadow walk. Tevinter does stand out a lot when she wants to, however at the same time her magic is directed to help her be a sneaky character. It is her biggest strength and weakness in one. I kind of stuck with the dead theme because when I think of how she is I can see her having that kind of eerie, corpse like aura. Shivers up your spin and what not. OMGIAMRAMBLINGIAMSOSORRY.
The dragon helm is removable, the horns are not. I think this in itself would make her look a lot more normal. The reason why I chose a Dracolish is because of their strong link to necromancy and what offensive spells she has are based on their mythology. ^-^ I think maybe putting in a magic section might clear it up.
No she is living, she is just able to sink into the skin of a Dracolish. Most mythological creatures are immortal in some sense of the word. I guess I will have to get staff approval for this. If not I am going to change her into a dragon, but I will find a breed which fits her.
Infact if you have any suggestions I would love to hear 8D

Dragon Age 5evr
I would say just make it clear on appearance since the image given off is one where it legit is her head. (eye glow and all that) It might also be worth noting then where/how did she run across a dragon's skull of all things. I am not 100% sure but still-> bone claws+feet+ribs+tail= pretty defining characteristics. Like if she had horns and a tail I can possibly see it (mayyybe? given there is a blackheart dragon dude in play) But having all of that makes for more ornate than really 'in the shadows'. And the bones over her clothes I'm not sure make sense given if they're attached to her body how did clothes get under there? <__>;;; I might suggest maybe making these parts like her helm, removable, (or maybe she has claws/bone hands??). And say when/where she uses them.
You also have 'humerus' in her personality where I think you mean humorous.
Personality wise I think there is a bit of a lingering clash with her need for being low key and her taste for attention/company. There is that double sided coin personality here which is fine to have, but they're mixed in to the point I don't get a strong sense of which side applies where and how. Maybe try setting her work personality/other into two parts? It's perfectly workable, It's just a bit hard to decipher.
